It was founded as a means to explore and initiate economic development in the Black community and the Coastal Bend area, and to assist in educating Black/Minority Business Owners of the City and County plans that would contribute to the high quality growth for economic development. The Chamber’s mission was to assist in promoting existing Black/Minority Businesses, start-ups and other entrepreneurial endeavors in the Coastal Bend.
